Jose Canseco throws out possibility of Ramirez using steroids

When Jose Canseco’s book “Juiced” came out in 2005 naming countless baseball players who were potentially connected to steroid use, many baseball figures doubted him.

Now it’s 2009, and Canseco has become a pretty credible source in this field. He admitted his own usage of steroids, and subsequently published his book naming roughly 104 players from around Major League Baseball.

Some of the names on his list were Miguel Tejada and Alex Rodriguez, who admitted just in this past year that they were in fact using steroids.

Canseco has now thrown another name out who could possibly be linked to steroids: Manny Ramirez. He says the reason Manny wasn’t given a contract extension was not because of his age, or the large amount of money he was wanting, but because his name is “most likely, 90%” on the list.

Although baseball fans don’t want to believe it anytime a player in linked to steroid use, one almost has to seriously consider the possibility nowadays when Canseco throws a name out there. Afterall, he does appear to have some inside knowledge on all of this.
